Pre-application questions 


To apply for relocating nbn® assets

Answer up to six questions so we can guide you to the right application form. These questions will cover:

  • If you need work done inside or outside your property boundary.
  • If you need a new connection for a property that is being internally subdivided and there is a pre-existing nbn connection.

Once you apply and pay the non-refundable application fee, we will complete a full assessment of your works. 

To complete the required pre-application questions, you will need to know which nbn connection type is available at your home or business. You can check your address before starting the questions.
